Rom. 3. 26. but especially all the Jewes Isaiah 11. 10 11 12. Isai. 59. 19 20. Rom. 11. 25 26. Heb. 9. 28. Ecclesiast 4. 15. 16. and the King is called by nomination the Holy Ghost because he is the speciall great messenger of the Trinity John 14. 26. The Holy Ghost is so full in him and upon him that it gives its name to him as we call a cup that is full of wine saying give me the wine or give me the cup in sense is to be understood the same thing So the King is sent to us under the name of the Holy Ghost because he was full of it but indeed properly the Holy Ghost is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Mathew 1. 18. 20. Luke 1. 35. And therefore the Holy Ghost is called the first and the last Revel. 22. 13. because under that name he begets Jesus Christ Mathew 1. 16. 20. Luke 1. 35. and seems to be elder or before Jesus and under that same name he seemeth to be younger and after Jesus and so sent John 14. 16 26. John 15. 26. John 16. 13 14. and these mysteries are riddles to the world but to the Believers they are evident John 14. 17. 26. there is more honor laid in Scripture upon this King than my tongue or pen can utter though I see it in abundance This King overcame all by his Faith in Jesus Christ which faith he defended by his sufferings through which sufferings he is perfected and become greater then the greatest Conquerour of all the Kings of the earth and in time to come they shall all submit unto him for God hath made him King of Kings and Lord of Lords For the appearing of Jesus Christ in him is to give rest to the people of God and his law shall go forth into all the earth And all the earth shall be gathered into one judgement to worship God according to the rule that this King left to them and sealed it with his bloud according to the appointment of God and our Lord Jesus Christ For it is the rule of the Spirit of truth which Jesus promises to lead men into all truth And now the promise is fulfilled and the Comforter is come and the true way is perfectly known this very day and the wicked shall fall in the way that they have chosen and the righteous shall willingly come to the way of the truth and the wicked shall do wickedly none of the wicked shall understand the truth These wicked are not prophane wicked I mean Drunkards Swearers Whoremasters Lyars Sabbatt-breakers and the like irreligious persons but these wicked are such as think themselves otherwise and the only holy and to have most understanding and from a false confidence do act in these times against the truth and will never be perswaded but they are the wiser sort of men But the wise and righteous shall understand the judg-truth and believe it and they shall shine as the stars and turn many to righteousnesse who were before prophane And their knowledge shall be encreased for the Sun of righteousdesse will shine upon them For Jesus doth shine upon him and give him of his light And they shalt tread down the wicked that they shall never rise againe or their wickednesse will be seen and abhorred of all men and their carkasses shall be as dung upon the earth and they shall be eaten of worms and devoured with the fire of their own anger they shall never be able to help themselves And now is the time that ye shall return and discerne between the righteous and the wicked that ye may know who is righteous and who is wicked who serveth God and who serveth him not and what is the true way of Gods worship Of this I shall speak if God permit and clear it out to your understanding with the uttermost of my ability for the salvation of your souls and bodies and all that ye have For I believe ye shall see more trouble upon this land suddainly then hath been any time heretofore All the Prophets of God prophecied mystically and the ground-work of all the Prophets is the speech of Noah to his Sons Gen. 9. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27. where he curseth Ham for his rebellion against him and blesseth Shem and Iaphet who honored him Jesus Christ is the God of Shem and lineally descended of Shem and conquered all the rebellious seed of Ham by his sufferings Colossians 2. 14 15. and King Charles is that seed of Japhet who by his coming in to Jesus Christ and suffering for his truth brings the rebellious seed of Ham to such an eternall servitude that they shall not rise again All this the Prophets foresaw and declared mystically which mysteries could not be opened till King Charles came and finished his course And at this time all the mysteries are fulfilled as ye have it Revelat. 10. 7. thus In the daies of the voice of the seventh Angell when he begins to sound the mystery of God shall be finished as he hath declared by his servants the Prophets Again a Prophet of our Nation noting to us the time saith more clearly to the same purpose thus Coroni mab Ann. iw diwedde u drogan In English thus The Son of Anne Crowned will finish the Prophecies Ye have this prophecy cited in Master Lillies book called Monarchie or no Monarchie and he doth acknowledge it to be spoken of King Charles his Coronation Though Lilly brings it to prove that there should be no more Kings here in Britain but he erreth For the said Prophet saith that all the prophecies are fulfilled in King Charles called by him Mab Ann. or the Sonne of Anne that we might know the time of the seventh Angell And that now there shall be a rule and a Kingdome that shall subdue all and shall stand for ever under * King Charles and his seed whose seed by the works of God shall appear to have an unquestionable Sovaraignty over all the earth That can never be shaken again Of this construction the Scripture is full and M. Lillies Prophets wrested by him do intend the same thing with the Scripture for all the Kingdomes of the earth at the sound of the seventh †Angell became one Kingdome of Christ Revel. 11. 15. and the word Jesus is left out there and also Revel. 20. 4. now Christ hath a new name that is Charles Revel. 3. 12. so that Charles is the Christ of Christ For so it signifies Revel. 11. 15. where it is said the Kingdome of our Lord JESUS and of his Christ CHARLES And againe saith Jesus I have set my King upon my holy hill of Sion Psal. 2. 6. and this is clear by many places And though the word Charles is not in all the Scripture any more then Jesus in the Old Testament named yet
